We cannot thank Shane O’Brien enough for helping us to buy a new property, and sell our existing property with three months. We aren’t sure when Shane finds time to sleep, he never stops, and yet you still feel like the most important clients on the books. We would not hesitate to recommend Shane to all our friends and family – thank you Shane – your excellent reputation is well deserved!

Sarah Wittick

2 months ago Shane is a highly motivated and experienced agent who has a excellent understanding of the market. His initial evaluation involved a thorough analysis of each room with his iPad, which allowed him to have provide a comprehensive knowledge of the house and backyard throughout the sale. Shane was always instantly contactable and built a strong relationship with us throughout the sale. While our property may have had its negative, Shane never allowed the walk throughs to cause us to have additional stress while in hospital with the birth of our son. Shane is very caring, supportive and our sale price exceeded our expectations. We are greatly appreciative of Shane.

I absolutely recommend YPA to anyone that is thinking of buying or selling in the area.

Very satisfied seller! When we first met Shane, we were immediately filled with confidence that he had our best interests as his number one priority. Shane seemed very knowledgeable of the area, and confident that he could sell our home at a price that we were happy with. (He even assured us that he would sell our house in under two weeks; a promise that he easily kept!) We were very thankful for Shane's terrific level of communication, which also allowed for a very smooth and stress-free sale of our home! Thank you Shane & the YPA Team! We would certainly recommend you to all of our friends and family!
